Daily Inter Lake | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 6 years, 2 months AGO
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks are seeking information on the shooting of a grizzly bear in Northwest Montana.
Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials trapped the bear Sept. 23, near Pothole Drive in Olney. The bear was euthanized due to its deteriorating condition from a gunshot wound.
Investigators believe the bear was likely shot in the Olney area sometime around Sept. 20-21. No additional information is available at this time.
Both agencies are asking the public to report anything they may have heard or seen related to this case. To report information, please call the USFWS special agent at 406-329-3000 or FWP at 1-800-TIP-MONT.
Callers do not have to identify themselves and a reward of up to $2,000 is available for information leading to a conviction.
